Description
Platinum (Pt) loaded carbon nitride (CN) is a promising photocatalyst under visible light for green hydrogen (H2) production. We aim to develop this system in a thin polymer film to make it industrially scalable.The Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel is used as a host matrix and water storage medium to facilitate homogeneous dispersion of the catalytic centers. The hybrid film's vertical distribution and inner microstructure are studied under in situ conditions with time-of-flight neutron reflectometry (ToF NR) and grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS). The resulting H2 produced is measured by gas chromatography.
